Abstract: Many useful things are made of crystals.
Neutron instruments are made to look
closely at crystals.WOMBAT: high-intensity powder diffractometer.http://apo.ansto.gov.au/dspace/handle/10238/21812010-08-11T16:01:28ZTitle: WOMBAT: high-intensity powder diffractometer.
Abstract: Wombat is the most powerful high-intensity powder diffractometer in the world. It has the power to detect a million neutrons a second and to produce data on the
structure of materials in a matter of milliseconds.Human activity and climate variability project.http://apo.ansto.gov.au/dspace/handle/10238/21652010-08-11T16:01:20ZTitle: Human activity and climate variability project.
Abstract: ANSTO has developed unique expertise and built a strong capability in Australia (and indeed in the Asian-Pacific region) in nuclear techniques applied to study natural processes. Capabilities include isotope-dating techniques, trace element analysis of aerosol particles and the use of radon-isotopes as a tracer for large-scale air movement. This enables ANSTO to collaborate in, and indeed lead/co-ordinate large interdisciplinary teams to address questions arising from the effects of human activities on the climate system and to distinguish between human impact and climate variability. Such a team was utilised in the Human Activity and Climate Variability Project, which commenced in July 1999.Replacement research reactor.http://apo.ansto.gov.au/dspace/handle/10238/21642010-08-11T16:01:18ZTitle: Replacement research reactor.
Abstract: The Replacement Research Reactor (RRR) will be built by INVAP at the Lucas Heights Science and Technology Centre of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, located 35km South-West of the Sydney Central Business District, Australia. The RRR is a multipurpose facility for radioisotope production, irradiation services and neutron beam research. The reactor thermal power is 20MW and its compact core is designed to achieve high performance in the production of neutrons. The facility comprises several buildings - Reactor Building, Neutron Guide Building, Offices and Visitor Centre Building, Auxiliary Building, Reactor Facitliy Substation and Cooling Towers - among which the reactor building stands out. The reactor building contains all the nuclear systems and the reactor and service pools. It protects the reactor from all external events and also provides the stuctural basis for the reactor containment. The building is built of reinforced concrete, it is seismically qualified, and it has a metallic grillage for protection from light aircraft crash.
